I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I'm fairly certain that I might have a UTI lower abdominal cramping, frequent need to urinate but very little comes out and it usually hurts. slight swelling in my hands. Problem is my husbands job told all of its employees we needed to have individual insurance worked out by March 1. We did...paid our premium got the cards everything. I have then spent the rest of the month trying to get my dr. on my cards and everytime I call to set things up they say our group is still active and they can't activate our new plan! I have contacted my husbands employ THREE times to work it out in the last two weeks. I STILL can't finish up getting our insurance worked out. I really feel like I need to see my dr. grrr....

If you can't get in to your doctor, what about going somewhere like a minute clinic? I don't know where you are, but there should be something like that, even if they don't have that specific one. It's not free, but it's a lot cheaper than an office visit. If you have a UTI, you really don't want to not treat it, as it can cause complications in pregnancy.

Just go to your regular doctor, ask to speak to someone in charge of billing, have them set you up as a self-pay patient for now, be treated, then after your insurance is worked out let them know, and ask them to file the claim thru your insurance then. Explain to them that you really need to be seen as soon as possible SINCE YOU'RE PREGNANT, and you can guarantee you will have insurance for them to bill eventually. You can even offer to pay some amount of money upfront, and then request they refund it once the insurance claim gets paid.
